Installing a PSS shat seal.

[gavin400]

The hot iron rich debris from the cutter will disperse very effectively and embed in the the fibreglass, later manifesting their presence as rust spots. Even in this enclosed spot - cover the cockpit well and consider your neighbours too

I recently cut my coupling off using a reciprocating saw - took about 10 minutes, frequently stopping to make sure I didnt damage the shaft
No sparks like a grinder and much more controllable

I made up this tool to compress the seal. Not strictly necessary just makes life much easier.

I'm disappointed, I thought, on reading the title, that this thread would be about sea-toilets?

Photos attached - I thought I had drilled out the pin and couldn't understand why I couldn't shift the coupling with a puller - transpires I had not drilled it all out
